1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Gold: ★★★, indicating a clearer long - trend with relatively appropriate investment opportunities currently [1] - Silver: ★★★, indicating a clearer long - trend with relatively appropriate investment opportunities currently [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Overnight, precious metals continued their strong rebound, with silver showing elasticity. The end of the US government shutdown and market expectations of potential Fed rate cuts have led to a short - term shift to rate - cut trading, making commodities generally stronger. However, whether precious metals can regain their upward momentum remains to be confirmed, and international gold and silver are facing resistance at previous high levels [1] 3. Summary by Related Information Government Shutdown - President Trump signed a temporary appropriation bill, ending the longest government shutdown in US history. The bill provides continuous funding for the federal government until January 30, 2026. Multiple federal departments have notified employees to return to work on the 13th, but it's uncertain when furloughed employees will receive back pay and if normal payroll can resume quickly [1][2] Fed Policy - Atlanta Fed President Bostic will retire at the end of his term on February 28 next year, and the market expects the new appointee may open up more room for future rate cuts. Four voting regional Fed presidents are not enthusiastic about another rate cut in December. Boston Fed President Collins believes the Fed will likely keep rates at the current level for some time. White House official Hassett hopes the Fed will cut rates by 50 basis points but expects a 25 - basis - point cut. The US Supreme Court will hold an oral argument on Trump's request to fire Fed Governor Cook on January 21 next year [1][2]

Report Summary Core View - The long - term upward trend of gold and silver prices is due to the continuous and historical loss of the US dollar's intrinsic value, which is manifested in the decline of its internal and external purchasing power and the weakening of its global mandatory power [3][6][7] Key Points Market Performance - As of November 12, 2025, the spot and futures prices of silver reached new historical highs, with the domestic price standing at 12,500 yuan per kilogram and Comex silver approaching $54 per ounce. Silver outperformed gold, and there are new underlying logics emerging [2] Traditional Gold Analysis Framework Breakdown - Before 2024, gold price discussions mainly revolved around the US dollar and US Treasury yields. However, since 2022, the Fed's interest - rate hikes and rising US inflation have led to a situation where gold prices and US Treasury yields have risen simultaneously, breaking the traditional inverse relationship [2][3] US Dollar's Intrinsic Value Analysis - **Purchasing Power**: The US dollar's internal and external purchasing power has been in an irreversible decline. Domestically, inflation has eroded its internal purchasing power, and externally, the process of de - globalization since 2016 has weakened its external purchasing power, including factors such as resource protectionism in South America and the decline of US influence on energy prices [4][6] - **Compulsory Power**: The US dollar's global compulsory power has been declining since 2018, which is an important background for the loss of its intrinsic value [7] US Dollar Index and Gold - Silver Price Relationship - The US dollar index is a relative indicator and does not reflect the loss of the US dollar's intrinsic value. Gold and silver can mark the loss of the US dollar's intrinsic value, and the long - term upward trend of gold and silver prices has an inherent logical sustainability [6][7]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Crude oil: ★☆☆ (One star, indicating a bearish bias, with a driving force for a downward trend but limited operability on the market) [1] - Fuel oil: ★☆☆ (One star, indicating a bearish bias, with a driving force for a downward trend but limited operability on the market) [1] - Low-sulfur fuel oil: ★☆☆ (One star, indicating a bearish bias, with a driving force for a downward trend but limited operability on the market) [1] - Asphalt: ★☆☆ (One star, indicating a bearish bias, with a driving force for a downward trend but limited operability on the market) [1] - Liquefied petroleum gas: ☆☆☆ (White star, indicating a relatively balanced short-term long/short trend and poor operability on the current market, suggesting a wait-and-see approach) [1] Core Views - The market is pessimistic about crude oil prices due to factors such as OPEC's adjustment of the balance sheet and increased US API crude oil inventories, and there is still room for prices to decline within the year [2] - Fuel oil prices follow the cost side down, while the low-sulfur market's fundamentals have improved, and the previously arranged strategy of widening the high-low sulfur spread has gradually materialized [2] - The decline of asphalt has slowed down, but the fundamentals are still bearish in the medium and long term [3] - The international LPG market is strong, with tight supply and improved demand, so LPG is expected to fluctuate upward [4] Summary by Related Catalogs Crude Oil - Overnight international oil prices dropped significantly, with the SC12 contract falling 3.66%. OPEC's November report adjusted the balance sheet from shortage to balance, and last week's US API crude oil inventories increased by 1.3 million barrels [2] - Since November, the crude oil monthly spread and spot premium/discount have weakened again, and there is still room for prices to decline within the year. Continuously monitor opportunities to short on price rebounds [2] Fuel Oil & Low-Sulfur Fuel Oil - Fuel oil prices followed the cost side down due to the pessimistic sentiment from OPEC's balance sheet adjustment. The main support for high-sulfur fuel oil comes from supply risks caused by Russia's refinery capacity constraints, but increased Middle Eastern high-sulfur resources form a hedge [2] - The demand side is weak, with the end of the Middle Eastern power generation peak season, the easing of the Israel-Palestine conflict, and expected early issuance of 2026 crude oil quotas [2] - The low-sulfur market benefits from supply pressure relief and support from the transfer production logic. The fundamentals have improved in the fourth quarter, and the previously arranged strategy of widening the high-low sulfur spread has gradually materialized, and it can be considered to take profits in a timely manner [2] Asphalt - The decline of asphalt has slowed down under the background of a sharp drop in crude oil prices, and the 2601 contract has certain support at 3000 yuan/ton [3] - The poor shipment volume has falsified the expectation of rush demand in the "14th Five-Year Plan" closing year and released a negative signal that demand is lower than the same period last year [3] - Commercial inventory destocking has slowed down, and the year-on-year increase in social inventory has expanded. Fundamentals are still bearish in the medium and long term [3] Liquefied Petroleum Gas - The international LPG market is strong, with tight supply of imported resources. Improved profitability of butane dehydrogenation units has boosted downstream chemical plant operating rates, and cold weather has increased combustion demand [4] - Refinery and port storage rates have decreased, and the supply-demand relationship has tightened marginally, so LPG is expected to fluctuate upward [4]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Red stars represent a predicted trend of rising prices, while green stars represent a predicted trend of falling prices. One star indicates a bullish/bearish bias with a driving force for price increase/decrease, but limited operability on the trading floor. Two stars mean holding long/short positions, with a clear upward/downward trend and the market situation evolving on the trading floor. Three stars suggest an even clearer long/short trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity at present. White stars indicate a relatively balanced short - term long/short trend and poor operability on the trading floor, suggesting a wait - and - see approach [10] - Investment ratings for different products: - Soybean No.1: ★☆☆ (predicted to be bullish with limited trading floor operability) [1] - Soybean Oil: ★★★ (predicted to have a clear upward trend and appropriate investment opportunity) [1] - Palm Oil: ★★★ (predicted to have a clear upward trend and appropriate investment opportunity) [1] - Soybean Meal: ★☆☆ (predicted to be bullish with limited trading floor operability) [1] - Rapeseed Meal: ★☆☆ (predicted to be bullish with limited trading floor operability) [1] - Rapeseed Oil: ★★★ (predicted to have a clear upward trend and appropriate investment opportunity) [1] - Corn: ★★★ (predicted to have a clear upward trend and appropriate investment opportunity) [1] - Live Pigs: ★★★ (predicted to have a clear upward trend and appropriate investment opportunity) [1] - Eggs: ★☆☆ (predicted to be bearish with limited trading floor operability) [1] Core Viewpoints - The report analyzes the market conditions of various agricultural products, including price trends, supply - demand situations, and influencing factors, and provides investment suggestions based on these analyses. Key factors to watch include policy changes, weather conditions, trade agreements, and supply - demand data reports [2][3][4] Summary by Product Soybean No.1 - The price of the domestic soybean futures main contract is oscillating at a high level. Today, 32,000 tons of domestic soybeans were auctioned at a reserve price of 3,900 yuan/ton, with 1,300 tons sold at a 4.03% success rate and an average price of 3,900 yuan/ton. The spot market price is stable. The price difference between domestic and imported soybeans is oscillating horizontally. Short - term focus is on domestic soybean policies and market sentiment [2] Soybean & Soybean Meal - US soybeans reached a recent high, and the main contract of Dalian soybean meal futures M2601 rose accordingly. The planting progress of new - season soybeans in Brazil is slow, and some soybeans in Paraná state may need to be replanted due to a tornado. Commercial imports of US soybeans lack price advantages, while policy - based purchases should be unaffected. Attention is on the USDA November supply - demand report, and there are opportunities for bargain - hunting long positions after the relaxation of Sino - US trade relations [3] Soybean Oil & Palm Oil - This week, focus on the guidance of the US Department of Agriculture supply - demand report. Rapeseed oil is leading the market strongly. Soybean oil and palm oil are following the upward trend, with soybean oil performing better. Palm oil in Malaysia has a high inventory, and future price trends depend on November's supply - demand situation. The loss in the near - end crushing profit of imported soybeans supports soybean oil prices. For palm oil, its price is oscillating horizontally, and its supply - demand situation and the trends of surrounding oils need to be monitored [4] Rapeseed Meal & Rapeseed Oil - The domestic rapeseed market maintains the pattern of strong oil and weak meal, with the positions of the main contracts increasing. Rapeseed oil is stronger than other vegetable oils, with increased提货量 at coastal oil mills. The inventory of rapeseed oil has declined significantly. Canada's biofuel incentive plan boosts the demand for Canadian rapeseed oil. The rapeseed futures price is under short - term pressure, and the pattern of strong oil and weak meal is expected to continue [6] Corn - The Dalian corn futures contract 2601 continued to rise. In the Northeast, the temperature is dropping, and the grain sales progress is slower than expected, with stable - to - rising spot prices. In Shandong, the supply of corn is tight, and the spot price is stable. Wheat prices are weakening due to the expected auction. The rebound of corn futures is expected to be limited, and the 01 contract may continue to operate weakly at the bottom [7] Live Pigs - The far - month live pig futures continued to rise, and the near - month contracts followed. The spot price of live pigs decreased by 0.1 yuan/kg. The futures market is trading on the expectation of capacity reduction. In the medium - to - long - term, the pig cycle bottom often shows a double - bottom "W" shape, and there is a high probability of a second bottoming in the first half of next year [8] Eggs - The decline of egg futures accelerated, with positions shifting from near - month to far - month contracts and overall position reduction. The spot price is mostly stable across the country, with slight drops in some areas. The futures price is based on the spot market logic, with high production capacity on the supply side and the off - season of demand. High - position short positions can be held, and attention should be paid to spot performance and the culling of old hens [9]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Copper: ★★★, indicating a clearer long - term trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - Aluminum: ★★★, suggesting a clearer long - term trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - Alumina: ★★★, showing a clearer long - term trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - Cast Aluminum Alloy: ★★★, representing a clearer long - term trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - Zinc: ★☆☆, meaning a bullish/bearish bias, with a driving force for price movement but limited operability on the trading floor [1] - Nickel and Stainless Steel: ★★★, indicating a clearer long - term trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - Tin: ★★★, suggesting a clearer long - term trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - Lithium Carbonate: ★★★, showing a clearer long - term trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - Industrial Silicon: ★★★, representing a clearer long - term trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - Polysilicon: ★★★, indicating a clearer long - term trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] Report's Core Views - The overall sentiment in the non - ferrous metals market is affected by factors such as the US government's end of the shutdown, expectations of the Fed's interest rate cut, and industry - specific supply - demand and policy situations. Different metals show various price trends and investment opportunities [2][3][5] Summary by Metal Copper - On Thursday, the non - ferrous metals sector showed a rising trend with increased positions. The short - term prices of Shanghai copper and LME copper tested RMB 88,000 and $11,000 respectively. The SMM social inventory increased by 5,200 tons to 201,100 tons this week, and the spot copper price rose to RMB 87,210. The Shanghai copper still had a premium of RMB 50. Short - term attention should be paid to the performance at the upper integer levels [2] Aluminum & Alumina & Aluminum Alloy - Shanghai aluminum continued to rise with increased positions. The spot premiums and discounts in East, Central, and South China showed little change. The macro environment is positive, and the long - term supply - demand situation in the aluminum market is promising, but the short - term fundamentals are stable. The high point of Shanghai aluminum refreshed a three - year high, and the index increased positions by 30,000 lots to 820,000 lots. The price of Baotai ADC12 spot increased by RMB 100 to RMB 21,100. Alumina has an oversupply situation, and its price is expected to be weak with limited rebound space [2] Zinc - The external market remained strong, and the export window for zinc ingots opened. The domestic smelters' production cuts are gradually being implemented, and the spot in East China is tight. The SMM zinc social inventory decreased by 800 tons to 157,900 tons. The price difference between the internal and external markets has limited room for further expansion. The short - term rebound of Shanghai zinc is expected to reach RMB 23,200/ton [3] Aluminum - The new national standard for electric two - wheeled vehicles will be fully implemented on December 1st, which is expected to improve the consumption of lead - acid batteries. The domestic aluminum spot is tight, and there may be hoarding by traders. The SMM aluminum social inventory continued to rise to 34,900 tons, and the futures - spot price difference widened. The price of Shanghai aluminum may face pressure at RMB 17,800/ton, but it is expected to break through the upper space, with the fourth - quarter high expected to reach RMB 18,200 - 18,500/ton [5] Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel declined slightly, and the trading was active with increasing positions. The nickel industry chain was affected by overall overcapacity and showed a dull performance. The mainstream stainless - steel mills cancelled price limits and then lowered the stainless - steel prices. The market was sluggish, and the trading volume was low. The pure nickel inventory increased by 1,000 tons to 49,100 tons, the nickel - iron inventory increased by 500 tons to 29,600 tons, and the stainless - steel inventory decreased by 1,300 tons to 946,000 tons. The nickel price is expected to be weak [6] Tin - The weighted price of Shanghai tin touched the RMB 600,000 integer level, and the trading was active. The spot tin price rose to RMB 296,000, and the real - time discount to the delivery month widened to RMB 1,250. The short - term price may test the integer level again. From a fundamental perspective, a short - long and long - short strategy or the allocation of out - of - the - money call options is recommended [7] Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate fluctuated at a high level, and the trading was active. The downstream battery factory orders increased due to the progress of pure - electric heavy - truck projects, the peak sales season of traditional vehicles, and the high demand for energy - storage batteries. The market inventory decreased by 3,400 tons to 124,000 tons. The short - term trend is expected to be strong with a fluctuating pattern [8] Industrial Silicon - The industrial silicon futures declined in the late trading, giving back the intraday gains. The expected production cuts and price increases of silicone monomer enterprises may drag down the demand for industrial silicon. The monthly production of industrial silicon is restricted by the dry season, and the production of downstream polysilicon has also significantly decreased. The short - term price is expected to weaken [9] Polysilicon - The polysilicon futures continued to rise, closing above RMB 54,000/ton. The disclosure of the significant achievements in the self - discipline of the photovoltaic industry by the National Energy Administration boosted market sentiment. The supply - demand situation has limited marginal improvement, but the industry has a strong willingness to support prices. The short - term spot price is expected to be stable, and the futures price will continue to fluctuate [10]
